Re: Fish
you know of any aquarium that has a Chaetodontoplus conspiculatus?

I saw one once, and it was one of the most amazing fish I had ever seen.

I would love to know of a place that has one on display

Sorry, I do not. Don't know if Chaetodontoplus duboulayi looks anything like conspiculatus, but for what it's worth the Dallas Zoo has one.

Re: Fish

As long as the angle shown (film plane to glass to flash) is greater than 1.8° you should not see a flash reflection on your photo. In other words, get the camera lens as close to the glass as possible and move the flash unit away from the lens.
I used a 18-70mm lens and an external Nikon SB-800 flash.

Re: Fish
ahhh, I never cant my flash up, I have a Canon 5d with a speedlite 580 and a 430, and I guess I could keep that angle, and aim the flash up a little bit.

Im gonna try it tonight!
Thanks!
